I'm trying to figure out what I want. I guess I had no idea how picky I am before I started looking around. I know that I want something fairly low set. I have been to weddings where the tall centerpieces get in your way so much that you can't see the people around your desk, let alone talk to them. so low is best for my social friends, i think.
I found this idea of using different wine glasses, flower heads and candles for centerpieces. What you do is turn some of the glasses upside down and trap a large fowler head underneath and then put a candle on the top. And then other glasses you can use the regular way, but you float a flower head in them... or a candle. So I thought I'd dress the glasses up a little with some crystals and it'd look awesome.
here's a picture of how the trapped flowers look (I'd bundle them up closer in the center of the table)

It'd add up to around 20$ - 25$ per table including everything. Is that a lot for centerpieces? It seems expensive to me because of my tiny budget..And I'd be left with several sets of wine glasses that I have nothing to do with. ugh. what are your thoughts? be honest.
